Great location!
Just a few minutes walk from Nijo-jo Castle, Manga Museum, Imperial Residence, Museum of Kyoto, Kaleidoscope Museum and the shops of Sanjo-dori. Small but comfortable room.

This is my 2nd time stay in this hotel. It is a short walk from Nijo Castle.I enjoyed their Japanese style breakfast,simple but delicious.

Convenient location
Stayed here for about one week .
Asked for a non smoking room . They had one available for an extra charge .
Wasn’t able to sleep as it was right under a compressor . It seems like the hotel knew about the problem .
Asked for the smoking room again and wasn’t refunded as I was told that room was bigger ?
Service in Kyoto in those hotels is going down as there is a big shortage .
Too bad as it is much better in the rest of Japan .

Great hotel near Nijo Castle
We stayed 1 night at Horikawa Inn for an overnight visit from Osaka. Hotel was located 1.5 blocks from the Tozai Subway Line (Nijojo Mae Station). 2 blocks from Nijo Castle and a lot of small shops and restaurants nearby. Overall a great value and a good free breakfast.

Kyoto Horikawa Inn is at the center of the Kyoto
Hotel staff are very nice and try hard to help and we can get what we were asking although English is not good enough
What they should have let people know is that there is a #9 bus directly come from the train station have a stop right in front of their door (220yen/person). We found it on the way out but had to walk > 10minutes from subway station (210yen/person)with map when we went in.

Conveniently located, clean place and staff very helpful despite their poor English, we succeeded in communicating with the help of my iPhone translation app. Very small room but very clean as it is standard in Japan.

Hôtel idéalement placé pour les visite touristique. Proche d'un arrêt de bus mais un peu loin de la gare. Nombreuse halle couverte proche de l'hôtel pour un prendre plein les yeux le soir venue.
